On Hurricane Sandy Lockdown? We Have the Five Movies to Add to Your Netflix Queue

Hurricane Sandy may have much of the East Coast on lockdown, but we're looking at it as the perfect opportunity to pour ourselves a glass of wine and catch up on some classic favorite flicks. Here's our picks for the five films that should definitely make an appearance at any hurricane party:

The Notebook

Truly, no movie marathon is complete without at least one Ryan Gosling flick (we think you’ll agree), and The Notebook is by-far the most swoon-worthy choice. Sure, you may have to have a few tissues on hand, but this classic love story is the perfect accompaniment to a rainy, blustery afternoon.

Clueless

Fashion, teenage angst and Paul Rudd…what more could you need from a flick? Clueless is such a classic movie that surely you already own it or know a girlfriend who does. The hilarious 90’s references will have you nostalgic for your own high school experiences and keep you laughing long into the storm. Allow Hurricane Sandy to ruin your mood? As if!

Step Brothers

There’s almost nothing better than a Will Ferrell comedy. They’re the perfectly hilarious way to waste away an afternoon. Not a Step Brothers fan? No problem. Reach for Anchorman, Old School or any other “guys” comedy. You’ll be laughing before you know it, and any guy you may be in hurricane lockdown with will think you’re the coolest chick ever.

The Day After Tomorrow

If you’re the type that likes to spook yourself, there’s no better time to pop in The Day After Tomorrow then well, now. The sci-fi disaster flick follows the catastrophic effects of global warming including tornados, blizzards and yes, hurricanes. Plus, Jake Gyllenhaal and Harrison Ford don’t make for bad eye candy!

Grease

What better way to ring in Hurricane Sandy than with history’s favorite Sandy, Olivia Newton John? Turn on Grease and instantly be transported into the middle of the 1950’s romance between two high school kids. By the time “We Go Together” rolls around, you’ll forget about the mess outside. Just no texting your old high school love, OK?
